Meghalaya Travel Information
Meghalaya is one of the country’s newest states with its capital
at Shillong. For long a summer retreat of the British, the beautifully
kept golf course and several English country cottages testify to
another influence besides the local one. Beautiful lakes and falls,
hillside cottages, a large university, and the popular Bara Bazar
are quaint aspects of this town.
